But if you are repainting a smooth painted piece or smooth wood, yes, I would go over it with fine grained sandpaper to give the new paint something to 'grab'. You can do this by hand easily, and as long as you go over it evenly, you don't need to apply too much pressure. Be sure to wipe it down well afterwards with a dry cloth to remove the residue. I hope that helps answer your question! xxKaren @ Beatrice Euphemiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08631972741518142563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-999880454764041260.post-37622955502447824552011-07-14T11:42:41.257-07:002011-07-14T11:42:41.257-07:00Oh wait.

I have a few wood pieces in my home I'd like to paint but wasn't sure if sanding needs to take place prior to the Primer?

I like thinner paint brushes, with tapered bristles, rather than the thick ones with thick ends. Any Home dept. store or Home goods store would carry the supplies. I spent about $30 per gallon, just because they were 'designer' colors. I have lots of paint left over to do the second cupboard and even some smaller projects after that. Plus I painted my bathroom! xxxKaren @ Beatrice Euphemiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08631972741518142563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-999880454764041260.post-15351507628051508472011-07-13T18:32:47.763-07:002011-07-13T18:32:47.763-07:00I really like the color.

How much did the materials cost? Where would you go do buy them? Any advice on the best place to go to get the materials?Dustin Frosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02630979785673530432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-999880454764041260.post-70585078762132762242011-07-13T14:30:27.624-07:002011-07-13T14:30:27.624-07:00Karen, you are so creative and inventive in your w...Karen, you are so creative and inventive in your ways.
